EtherChannel Configuration Example
Purpose
Creates the EtherChannel interface. You can
configure up to 6 FECs on the ML100T-12, 4
FECs on the ML100X-8, and 1 GEC on the
ML1000-2.
Assigns an IP address and subnet mask to the
EtherChannel interface (required only for Layer 3
EtherChannel).
Exits to privileged EXEC mode.
(Optional) Saves configuration changes to
NVRAM.
Purpose
Enters one of the interface configuration modes to
configure the Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet
interface that you want to assign to the
EtherChannel. You can assign any Ethernet
interface on the system to the EtherChannel, but
both interfaces must be either FEC or GEC.
Assigns the Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet
interfaces to the EtherChannel. The channel
number must be the same channel number you
assigned to the EtherChannel interface.
Exits to privileged EXEC mode.
(Optional) Saves configuration changes to
NVRAM.
(Switch B).
